Abstract

A method includes polling a plurality of entities in a network for status information at a first polling frequency and receiving a fault indicator associated with an entity in the network. The method additionally includes mapping the fault indicator to a particular node in a network topology, the network topology comprising nodes corresponding to entities in the plurality of entities and edges describing relationships and dependencies between the plurality of entities, wherein the particular node corresponds to the associated entity for the fault indicator. The method further includes determining a set of related nodes based on connections to the particular node in the network topology, and polling corresponding entities for the set of related nodes for status information at a second polling frequency, the second polling frequency being greater than the first polling frequency.
